Scuba Dogs is a PADI 5-Star Dive Center; the only official operator with all gear, restrooms, showers, lockers and professional staff right there at the Marine Park.
In particular, this scuba tour for certified divers is uniquely AMAZING in the sense that it's a shallow dive no deeper than 30' which allows you to explore safely without decompression issues; practice basic skills and neutral buoyancy in a protected bay; encounter a great diversity and abundance marine life including yellowtail snappers, damselfish, stingrays and turtles; and explore a diverse bottom composition including the historic fish wall, statues, roman columns, shipwreck structures, and coral reef formations.
After a colorful description of the historic and ecological value of this epic site, a professional theory review on the science of diving, and basic skills training in the shallow part of the shoreline, you'll be exploring the entire bay safely under the direct supervision of a dive professional.

5.00It had been about five years since my last dive, and I was able to take a refresher course and do a dive with my nephew at the Escambron Marine Park, who had just gotten certified in the states. The online registration process was easy, and and the staff were fantastic. Especially the dive masters Manolo and Alberto, who were very friendly, honest, patient and informative. Although the diving conditions were not ideal, we felt safe at all times and enjoy the whole experience immensely. We can’t wait to come back and do it again!

5.00My son and I could not have asked for a better experience the instructor massive diver. Manolo put us right at ease. We have not dived in over six years and he made us feel so calm to get right back in the water took us to a wonderful reef showed us some beautiful fishes and Even had a very funny surprise for us at the end. I don’t wanna ruin it but if in when you are in San Juan, Scuba Dogs is a must.

5.00Awesome experience at their Escambron Marine Park location! Our dive guide Paco was excellent on working with a couple newbie divers like myself and my wife. Even with mild currents and limited visibility our guide Paco gave us a great dive briefing and led a safe yet fun dive. Highly recommend them.

5.00We had a great experience with Scuba Dawgs in San Juan. There are not many options for diving in the San Juan metro area, so this worked out well for us. We visited on a day with very rough water, so visibility was low. We have not been on many dives, so this opportunity was great for practice. Would definitely do this again on a future visit.
